Coward

I could run from the scene, that was true

But I couldn't run from myself, which I wanted to do

The Boy Who Lived was close behind

shouting every spell that came to mind

I blocked his curses with my powerful shield

But when he shouted that word, I couldn't block what I could feel

With my task complete, Albus Dumbledore dead

The repulsive word resounded in my head

"Coward!" is what the boy shouted at me

When I heard it, my emotions were freed

"DON'T CALL ME COWARD!" I screamed out loud

I'd killed Albus, everyone hated me now

Hatred of me, with that I could deal

But I couldn't handle a word I could feel
